It's more important than ever to make sure we are not erased

When the NOH8 Campaign started, I was still discovering my identity. Seeing LGBTQ people standing up for their rights gave me the confidence I needed to continue to explore myself, so that I could see myself in that future. I hope that young people will find their courage through the movement to help fight for a better future. I wear the red ribbon in solidarity of my friends who are living with HIV. Now after hearing the U.S. census is excluding LGBTQ people from the record, it's more important than ever to make sure we are not erased.
